Bal en Blanc adds Fatboy Slim and Andrew Rayel to the official lineup

/

The 20th edition of Bal en Blanc, the annual all-night white party in Montreal that takes place on Sunday, April 20th at the Palais Des Congres is heating up with 2 big names added to the already stellar lineup. The legendary Fatboy Slim will be joining the Arena 1 stage while rising trance star Andrew Rayel will be at the Arena 3 stage. These two DJs will be joining an already stacked lineup consisting of Hardwell, a special Carl Cox and Friends stage, and New World Punx. The full lineup is yet to be released so expect even more goodness to come from one of the most highly anticipated events all year. 

If you forgot how amazing Fatboy Slim live is, you only need to watch his performance at last year's Ultra Music Festival to understand his greatness behind the decks, watch:

Preview Calvin Harris' upcoming remix (Spoiler: It's good)

/

Calvin Harris has just released a preview of his upcoming remix of Fatboy Slim & Riva Star's "Eat Sleep Rave Repeat", check it out:  

This remix transforms the original mix by packing in a lot more bass and emphasizing the mantra "Eat Sleep Rave Repeat" that will get the crowd chanting along. So far there is no set release date for Calvin Harris' latest effort, but once it's released I expect it to do very well on the Beatport charts. 

Fatboy Slim: "I think Skrillex will probably be around long after dubstep"

Fatboy Slim gives his opinion on dubstep and where he thinks the next big thing in EDM will be:

"The best records at the moment are more deep house. Jamie Jones, Solomun and stuff like that. I think the cooler heads now think ‘dubstep, that’s just TV commercial stuff. Muse are doing it now, so we’ll move onto something a bit cooler,’"

Skrillex is already moving away from dubstep with projects such as Dog Blood with Alex Ridha (Aka Boys Noize) so Fatboy Slim's quote might not be too far off at all.
